- I use 'Wake On Standby' (freeware) to wake my computer from hibernation at 5am.
- It starts up 'iSound audio recorder' (about $25), which records 'what U hear' for a pre-set time of 30 minutes (in spite of the RIAA crippling the recording abilities of sound cards nowadays.)
- iSound in turn starts up VLC player, which is fed the parameter 'http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/windows/radio_national.asx'
- One hour later, Wake On Standby puts the computer back into hibernation.

One tip - if your computer is behind a corporate firewall, you need to supply proxy credentials for VLC to connect to the ABC.

To supply the proxy info, use the format
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --http-proxy=username:password@proxyservername:port

Naturally, replace username, password, proxyservername and port with real values.

This may be more convoluted than other methods, but it works for me - on 4 different computers in 2 locations, just to be on the safe side!

Thank you to everyone!

Do you mind if I ask what you guys are using to schedule recordings?

What an absolute corker of an episode with everyone, esp. KW, on top form!

That's how I remember JaM from the days of my youth.
